    Warm staff, lakefront grounds, concerns

    I'm very pleased with the warm, caring staff, engaging activities, good food and clean, well-kept lakefront grounds and rooms - memory care and frequent outings are a real plus. My concerns: persistent understaffing, occasional medication/housekeeping lapses, slow emergency responses and confusing/high fees in the fine print. Overall I'm glad we chose it, but I'd advise verifying staffing levels and contract details before committing.

    About Fairforest Grove Senior Living

    Fairforest Grove Senior Living is a Continuing Care Retirement Community where health, wellness, and personalized support get most of the attention day to day, and you'll notice the friendly staff members know residents by name and build close relationships with families and guests over time, which is part of what gives the place a calm, home-like atmosphere and makes things work. Residents can choose from assisted living, memory care, independent living, and home care services, with people available 24/7 to help with bathing, dressing, medication, and any transfers, and nurses are on site to respond to emergencies or needs at any hour with emergency call systems and pendants in all suites for safety. Apartments come in different layouts like studio bedrooms, with private baths, walk-in closets, kitchenettes, cable TV, and individually controlled heating and air conditioning, and folks can bring their own furniture and decorate to suit their tastes. Housekeeping, laundry for both linens and personal clothes, and even dry cleaning get handled, and scheduled transportation along with move-in help make transitions smoother. Dining takes place in a restaurant-style setting where three chef-prepared meals get served daily, plus snacks offered later, and meal teams can accommodate allergies and diabetes, always planning for balanced nutrition with meals that are enjoyed together in a shared dining room to keep people social and connected.

    A full calendar of events, movie nights, trips, family gatherings, and community-sponsored activities means there's plenty of chances for residents to meet, play board or card games in the game room, spend time in cozy libraries and lounges, or join in on programs for mental and emotional wellness, including activities made for residents with dementia or mild memory loss. The community provides comfort for people who might have trouble getting around or are living with dementia, with secured and supervised areas, memory care programming, and therapies to reduce confusion and keep people safe from wandering. There's help for everyday personal tasks, a salon and barber shop, Wi-Fi, meditation and worship spaces, a courtyard, and spaces for family celebrations. Fairforest Grove sits on one story, which makes it easy to get around, and is set up to be affordable and comfortable, always aiming to keep people from feeling overwhelmed with too much size or noise. The management by Mainstay Senior Living adds to the focus on real, hands-on care, and the staff are often called accommodating and patient by families; there's a real emphasis on being family-focused and creating genuine, lasting connections.

    Awards for Best of Senior Living, high review scores from families, and recognition for top customer service show that people appreciate the way the community supports both residents and their loved ones. Pets are welcome, and the building features controlled access, smoke detectors, and sprinklers for safety. The overall goal is to make sure every resident, whether they live independently, need help with daily living, or need more specialized dementia care, feels safe, respected, and included, with a place that can meet a broad mix of needs at different stages of senior living.
